I went on Qlaira after reading reviews that it helped with recurring thrush caused from other combination pills. It did - I haven't had thrush since being on this pill! However, definitely experience more mood swings and I bleed lightly for around 10 days which is really frustrating. Considering changing because of the bleed. First month of bleeding was also much more painful but think I was just getting used to it.

Improved pain endomyosis symptoms at the expense of mood. Still had issues with breakthrough bleeding but periods were better.

It is great overall, but I spot every month on days 14-19 like clockwork. I like the pill so I am hesitant to switch.
